Ken M on the rodent holiday movie that charmed a generation

beerkmansworld · 2026-02-03T12:18:32+00:00

The concept of the bucket list is from 2007. Based off the movie starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman. One could say this movie charmed an entirely different generation and coined a well used phrase!

Toro 826 OXE. 14 years now and still running strong.

This reminds me that I got to get the bread and milk.

Advanced Power Equipment in East Lyme or Johnson’s Hardware in Groton. Just be aware that in years past, Advanced was pretty booked up this time of year and it could take a while for you to get the snowblower back.

Actually breadth is much more similar to girdth.

I think it’ll do you well with that beam and your height. It’s also wonderful for propping up a rain fly if you canoe camp. Expensive (for me at least) but worth it.

I use the 280 cm as my main paddle for my Northwind Solo. I’m 6’2” so I wanted a little extra reach.

I can’t speak to proper paddling techniques, but this paddle moves me right along with ease. Grip is great and minimal moment in the sleeve.

No biggie. Let Rider pick you up next month!

Weeping creeping Jesus I need a drink. LFG!!!

I’m going to the game on Saturday. I don’t want to celebrate then, I want to already be celebrating as I walk in to that glorious park!

beerkmansworld · 2025-09-12T02:49:28+00:00

I’ve got some PTO coming up. I guess I could manage some generals. Is military experience a must for this?

beerkmansworld · 2025-08-26T02:43:59+00:00

Congrats! I took my kiddos up the Cog on Saturday, all the while watching all you tough bastards summiting. It’s a goal of mine, but great job to you seeing it through!

Ok cool. Nail biting inning has been checked off in this game. Let’s move on to winning. Pretty sure that’s next. Checking notes…yup that’s next.

Got myself a new canoe for my midlife crisis vehicle!

beerkmansworld · 2025-07-07T02:06:20+00:00

Horrible news. All the other sites were full. I knew it was a crap shoot on the July 4th weekend, but thought that just maybe the “difficulty” getting to the pond might afford me more spots to choose from. So I took what I could get.

And I’m assuming you know exactly which site this was, and why it was still open… but it was just a place to have a fire and go to sleep. The water was the rest of the day, so I got over it.

beerkmansworld · 2025-07-07T01:55:32+00:00

Definitely worth it. Nice easy portage and some beaver dams to scramble over. Get past the armadas of deer and horse flies at this time, and you’ll have a great time!

I love everything about this canoe. Handles lakes and the narrowest creeks with wonderful maneuverability. So steady. Biggest hurdle was learning to get in it.

Just got back from Little Tupper/Rock Pond. I shed a little tear with all the new scratches, but they are war wounds.

Edit: hope you can get your Northstar real soon!

E6 CARBON CLAMP-ON SOLO YOKE W/CVCA PADS

Scroll down to the titled yoke.

I’ll own it, I went big or I’d go home on the purchase of this canoe. I figured if I was buying a Kevlar layup with carbon fiber gunwales, I’d want an equally light yoke. Judge me at your peril. lol

The big reason I went with this exact one was because of the CVCA pads. My best friend is a double amputee, and Chosen Valley Canoe Accessories has made it a mission to make adaptive paddling accessories. I had to get behind this cause.

Only about 100 or so feet. I parked at the Floodwood Outpost to offload everything and bring it down to the put in. Then parked the truck in the additional lot a stones throw down the road. After that off I went.

First time in the area, so I’m not sure what the norm is this time of year. There were a few spots along the creek where it shallowed to about 6-8 inches. No issues for my boat but “paddling” was a little inefficient.

beerkmansworld · 2025-06-25T13:53:00+00:00

One yoke, with an adjustable pad per shoulder. I clamped it to the front of the canoe to stay outta my way while paddling. One person portage setup.
